Hart, Wottle Match 1 orld Race Records Tec--for Betty Burfeindt; left, Two at Women's U.S. Open places tall as iShirley Englehorn picks iip tee. (AP) By BOB PAYNE Spok.snun-Rtvi.w Sport Writor EUGENE, Ore. Fifteen minutes apart, in the dusk Saturday evening at Hayward Field, two world records were equalled in the United States Olympic Track Trials. They were followed in less than one hour by an American record triple jump good only for second place and by then you didnt hear much about how the Americans may be in trouble at Munich.

The record runners: Eddie Hart, the former California star an now assistant coach, who finally gave up his cautious starts and bombed 100 meters in 9.9 seconds, barely beating Florida A Ms Rey Robinson. The wind, 2.41 miles per hour, was legal as the breezes which accompanied another sunny day finally started to die down. Ryun Beaten And amazing little Dave Wottle, the Bowling Green mile champion who -Jias protested time and again, he doesnt know much about the 800 meters, who crushed Jim Ryun in the final straight and tied Peter Snells world record of 1:44.3. Even later Olympic veteran Dave Smith reached 56 feet, even, in the triple jump, an American record, but only second in this 'com petition to the earlier, wind-aided, 56-2 of John Craft. These performances, cheered mightily by 15,000 Spectators, led the first batch of qualifiers for Munich 15 in five finals Saturday and signalled that American track indeed is in robust Silvester Joins Joining them as event winners were discus world record holder Jay qualifying for his fourth Olympics and Larry Young, America's only race-walk medalist ever, who easily won the 2Q-kilometer walk.

As brilliant as were the winning performances, the depth was almost more impressive. Five men ran wind-aided 9.9s in one 100 semifinal and the 10.0 final time of Texas Southerns Robert Taylor was good only for' scared stiff, all the way, Wot- Maxwell I Unearned Rap for Muhammad I to Susie MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) Susie Maxwell- Berning captured the 20th U.S. Open Golf Championship for women Sunday with a final-round 71 as i- Knots Hinson Toui mey tie said. I didn't want to get too far back.

I was burned by Ryun in Los Angeles and I knew I couldnt let him go first. In the stretch I just got out in front and ran scared. The 100 final was as thrilling as expected. It capped two days of brilliant, mostly wind-aided sprinting. Hart, who pulled hamstring muscle in the AAU two weeks ago, barely made it that far, starting gingerly in each trial race and then coming on strong at the finishes.

Robinson had won here in the first, second and third rounds, and looked awesome. But in the final Hart went for broke and was out fast along with teammate Norbert Payton, the former Washington State buzz-bomb who ran 9.9 behind Robinson in the semis. Payton Falters But, Payton faltered soon and Hart held the lead almost all the way, holding off Robinsons surge. Taylor, off poorly as always, surged onto the team in the final strides as Gerald Tinker took fourth and collegiate champ Warren Edmonson, who was out w'ell also, fifth. Payton finished eighth, but this was still his finest week ever.

Qualifying also was held Saturday in the javelin and pole vault and mile in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles. Important casualties were few. There were 32 pole vaullers and 21 of them took advantage of tail winds to make the qualifying height of 16-9 forcing officials to advance the start of the final two hours. As you would expect, all the favorites survived and the qualifiers included ex-WSU star Jack Ernst. Javeliners Hurt Winds blew into the javelin throwers and kept them off form.

But again there were no serious losses as the Armys consistent Bill Schmidt led at 266-2, AAU champ Fred Luke of the Husky Spike Club qualified as did Washington's Cary Feld-maon. Non-qualifiers included Husky soph Gary Quitsland and Montana frosh Craig Stiles. In the intermediates, veteran Ron Whitney, 1968 Olympian, and Wes Williams were chief losses but they were longshots here. Trials Summary Javelin.

Mu-Jiammad 1 LeBeau accused Ali of raising the specter of rac-. ism before -his recent bum-of-the-month fight with Jerry Quarry in Las Vegas.

For evidence, the commen-' tator noted that Ali hath' called Quarry the last off the white hopes. Among: other things, LeBeau said Ali should quit boxing see a psychiatrist crawl back in the woodwork, Ali, as everyone should 'know by now, especially people who are paid to dispense information or comment, is no racist in the militant sense. As a Black Muslim he may believe in. separatism but certainly not in conflict. He was not speaking as a racist when he used -the white hope gag about Quarry.

Depending on how you -feel about Ali, that was either gentle irony or a -nasty dig but it wasnt racism. The promoters of the Vegas doubleheader billed it rather tastelessly as the soul brothers against the Quarry brothers and Ali was going along with the gag. and British Open titles, Cesar He always tries to get controversy going before his Sanudo carded a 67 and was a11 fights, purely to help build a gate and hes a master at doing that. He has needled all his opponents, color immaterial. As Long as Advice Is Cheap Indeed, Ali and Joe Frazier have double-handedly been responsible for saving professional boxing from itself.

You may argue about what thats worth but they have done it. LeBeaus comments on Ali were way off base and undeserved and since he had advice for Ali on what to do and where to go, one might offer some gratuitous advice for LeBeau, such as, a long hike and-stay away from microphones at all times. If anybody in the wide spectrum of games and game-manship needed a rap Sund'ay it wasnt Ali. It was Bobby Fischer, the flaky chess wizard. Ali did not, for example, do a no-show in his epic fight with Joe Frazier.

And when he lost, he took the defeat with humor and grace. On Sunday, the chess match of the century was to have begun between Fischer and Russian world champion Boris Spassky. Fischer by that time had maneuvered for a postponement until Tuesday, and there is doubt that he -will -appear then. Making No Friends in Iceland What Fischer has done far is to leave Icelands promoters of the match facing a financial whipping. In addition, he has tried to pressure an additional 30 per cent of the gate from the Icelanders.

In addition he has made Spassky look like the guy in the white hat while making himself look like an aberrant and greedy villain. While Fischer and his agents have made threats and demands, including multiple criticisms of the physical layout for the match, his accommodations in Reykjavik, and other effusions of psychological nerve gas, Spassky has stood by calmly and smilingly playing the good guy, which indeed he likely is. Meanwhile, every chess fan in the world is kept hanging, feeling rightly that hes been personally -deprived. Fischer, said one report, may claim the losers fend of the guarantee even if he doesnt Having spent some 18 months in with the opportunity of getting to know those most, fair-minded and proudly independent people Id hate to hang by the thumbs until they mail Fischer a check for not appearing. Fischer may have his reasons but his only excuse lies in the realm of mental pathology.

Mrs. Berning, 30, who also won this event in 1908, started the day with-a 12 over par -but birdied two par five holes on the front nine- to turn in 34 and begin her chase for the $6,000 top prize as Miss Barnett Wadkins in Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) Lanny Wadkins shot a four-under-par 67 Sunday and moved into a tie with Larry Hinson for the third-round lead of the rain-delayed $150,000 Cleveland Open Golf Tournament.
